Import email from Windows Mail to OE

The Import Mail function will not import any email from Windows Mail (Vista)
to OE under WinXP.

By dragging and dropping emails into a folder of OE, I managed to import
those messages, but I'd like to know if there is any more elegant way of
doing this?

No. You found the best way to do it.

Probably not. MS Outlook Express program development stopped before Windows
Mail was programmed, so MSOE does not know about, cannot know about Windows
Mail, or any other email client developed subsequent to the end of
programming work done with it.
